WHY Tan Huat Chye/Wayfarers

Why must they all lie?
Why must they deny?
The world that He had said,
And the Eightfold Way.

Why do they close their minds,
And choose to be so blind?
Thro' birth, and death and change,
Round they will go again.

CHORUS

Round and round they'll go again,
Round they'll go again.
Down and down they're burnt in flames,
Down they'll go in pain.

Why do they deafen their ears?
Why do they not hear?
The words of love and peace,
From the Master's seat.

Why have they blinded their eyes,
To the tears of life?
And round they're bound in chains,
Round they'll go in pain.

(CHORUS)

Why must they all fight?
Why must they all strive,
So hard and heedlessly,
In Samsara Sea?

Why do they find no delight,
In the Dhamma's light?
And evil falls like rain,
In pain they go again.
